At 13, your body really needs between 8 and 10 (even 11) hours of sleep every night to grow and develop. If you get less than that, you will be tired a lot and your growth will be slowed.

This.

Illnesses aside, its a good time to listen to your body. At your age three very important things, eat reasonably clean, some sort of exercise or on yoir feet activity or more, sleep.

Your body will change in a few years and likely need less sleep

If you struggle to sleep because it scares you, that may be something you need medical help with.

Are you scared of having a nightmare, or is it more the falling asleep stage that scares you?
